Persistent efforts were made to avoid the return of deported slaves, and it was attempted to put them in the category of artillery which had been removed before the exchange of ratification.
John Quincy Adams, first as United States minister to England, and subsequently as United States Secretary of State, conducted with great vigor and earnestness a long correspondence to maintain the true construction of the treaty as recognizing and guarding ved, to return the former, but that the reasons did not apply to the latter, for, he proceeds to say, Private property, not having been subject to legitimate capture with the places, was not liable to the reason of limitation.
In the same letter Adams writes: Merchant-vessels and effects captured on the high-seas are, by the laws of war between civilized nations, lawful prize, and by the capture become the property of the captors. . . . But, as by the same usage of civilized nations, private p

John Quincy Adams, in a letter to the Secretary of State dated August 22, 1815, says:
Our object is the restoration of all property, including slaves, which, by the usages of their existence, or did he seek to cover up his violation of them by a deceptive use of language?
It may not be unseasonable to repeat here the words of John Quincy Adams in his letter of August 22, 1815, as above stated:
Our object is the restoration of all the property, including slaves, which, by the usages of war among

he governments of those countries to alleviate it. Instead, however, of adopting those measures required in the exercise of justice to the Confederacy, and which would have been sustained by the law of nations, by declaring the blockade ineffective, as it really was, they sought, through informal applications to Seward, the Secretary of State for the United States, to obtain opportunities for an increased exportation of cotton from the Confederacy.
This is explained by Seward in a letter to Adams, the Minister at London, dated July 28, 1862, in which he writes as follows:

Yet, in October of the same year, Earl Russell entertained the complaint of the United States minister in London that the Confederate States were importing contraband of war from the island of Nassau, directed inquiry into the matter, and obtained a report from the authorities of the island denying the allegations, which report was enclosed to Adams, and received by him as satisfactory evidence to dissipate the suspicion thrown upon the authorities by that unwarrantable act.
So, too, when the Confederate government purchased in Great Britain, as a neutral country (with strict observance both of the law of nations and the municipal law of Great Britain), vessels which were subsequently armed and commissioned as vessels of war after they had been far removed from English waters, the British government, in violation of its own laws, and i
